Brian Dechesare

Hi WSO Community,

This is a non-pressing question, but I was just curious if anyone knew which investment bank(s)/PE firm(s) the BIWS founder, Brian Dechesare, worked at.

In trying to find out for myself, he has done a very good at making this information hard to find.

It was definitely a bulge bracket bank in SF or LA, he went to Stanford and if you read his story on Mergers & Inquisitions, he mentions driving home from his banking job in Cali and falling asleep.

The fool thinks himself to be a wise man, while the wise man thinks himself to be a fool.
